Musical Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Wakarusa, KS

I love working with people and seeing them succeed. I tend to meet the person at the level where they are at, then adapt the lessons to their learning style. I am very creative and strive to make learning fun. I believe all people can meet and exceed the potentials that they set for themselves, if given the right tools. Their motivation is a vital key. Students need to see for themselves that they can succeed, whether this is something small or they complete the graduation requirements or degree of their dreams. I have been driven my entire life to assist others. I started working in the health care industry as a CNA, 1979. I then went to college and obtained my social work degrees. I worked in various settings to include nursing homes, mental health centers, prisons, adolescent group homes and currently home health care, 1987 to 2009.

I have been tutoring for many years with different kinds of children. To begin with, I tutored my younger sister starting when she was about seven years old to age twelve or thirteen. In high school, I also volunteered for an after-school program for Hispanic children ages seven-twelve where I helped them with their homework in various subjects. In addition, I spent about four months tutoring a severely autistic child, teaching him different communication skills and helping him to form patterns. I have always been an 'A' student and I excel in math, science, English, foreign languages, and history. I am best with math and science for elementary up to ninth or tenth grade students, yet I can tutor students in history, reading, and English for all ages. I earned my bachelor's degree in communications, so I have learned to master social studies and the English language by writing copi

Because each individual student is important to me, I seek to get to know each student personally while retaining a professional demeanor. This helps me understand the student's particular needs so that I may teach the student most effectively. My naturally gentle personality makes me a patient and encouraging teacher. I strive to help each student grasp concepts rather than merely memorizing facts. I also encourage learning through discovery and hands-on experience as much as possible. I think learning is fun, and I try to communicate that enthusiasm to my students. Learning and helping others learn are among my highest priorities in life. My high academic honors reflect this drive to learn: I earned magna cum laude in college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. My degree in English Education gave me a strong grasp of English grammar, composition, and literature; it also g

I taught elementary Art, P.E., and library class. In addition, I taught a 12th grade Transitions course, for a year in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I frequently helped kids with their homework after school, as needed. I volunteered as a 3rd grade Sunday School teacher for a year. I have a bachelor's and master's degree in Social Work. I am a student-oriented teacher and am willing to do all I can to make learning approaches applicable to each child’s needs. My goal in tutoring is to help the child connect with the subject at hand and develop a greater interest in learning, irrespective of the method used. My educational background in social work lends to a caring, compassionate, yet motivational approach.
